I still say days has really improved as a whole. It isn't just Kristen that's made it good. They've done a ton of things to improve it. Remember when there was seldom any payoff?Remember when every story fell flat?

I've been impressed for awhile, and not just because of Kristen, but because somebody did their homework, and made this show worth watching. They've made Salem a town again.

They should get kudos for the work they've done behind the scenes. I hope they make it to 50, because look at all the effort they put forth. They're facing big challenges with so much of the cast exiting.

What are they likely doing to make it survivable? They have little choice about actors leaving.
